# Chudjak Chudjak is a Wojak-family cartoon face used to caricature 4chan /pol/ posters, incels, and far-right shooters. It first surfaced as 'le pollack' on 4chan in 2019 and took its Wojak form on Bunkerchan's /leftypol/ board in August 2020, modeled after El Paso Walmart shooter Patrick Crusius. ## Overview Chudjak, sometimes called Poljak, is a Wojak-family cartoon face used to caricature 4chan /pol/ posters, incels, and mass shooters[6]. The design has bulging eyes, a receding hairline, patchy stubble, and a fixed grimace, features drawn from the mugshot of Patrick Crusius, the gunman who killed 23 people at an El Paso Walmart in August 2019[1]. The character sits inside the wider Wojak universe next to Soyjak and the original Feels Guy, but where Soyjak mocks tech enthusiasts and Redditors, Chudjak is aimed at the right-wing poster archetype. The name fuses 'chud,' older slang for a reactionary or reviled man, with the '-jak' suffix shared across the Wojak family. ## How It Spread Chudjak first circulated across 4chan boards like /biz/, where posters used it to mock /pol/ regulars. On October 1, 2020, /pol/ users retaliated with a raid on Bunkerchan, spamming grotesque imagery for roughly three days until moderators contained it. The clash produced over a thousand shitposts on Bunkerchan and drove more than 80,000 mentions of 'leftypol' on /pol/, spawning dozens of new Chudjak variations along the way[6]. The meme sat in the background for a few years before jumping back into circulation in April 2025. On April 25, Redditor /u/uncanealguinzaglio posted Crusius's federal mugshot, obtained via FOIA, to /r/masskillers[5]. Two days later, X user @TruueDiscipline tweeted 'This is what chudjak looks like now… feel old yet?' alongside a newer photo of an older Crusius with curly hair and a scruffy beard, pulling over 1.2 million views in two days[2]. The picture came from Associated Press coverage of Crusius's April 2025 guilty plea in Texas state court after prosecutors dropped the death penalty[1]. Glow-up jokes followed fast. X user @hayasaka_aryan compared young and old Crusius photos with the caption 'From chud to indie rock singer,' drawing roughly 30,000 likes[3]. On April 28, X user @Marcus_cel posted a Cereal Guy edit riffing on Crusius supposedly improving his looks behind bars, clocking over 40,000 likes in a day[4]. ## How to Use Chudjak is typically posted as a reaction image, often paired with a speech bubble putting reactionary talking points in his mouth. People stretch, redraw, or costume the base face to fit whichever group they're mocking, and graft it onto other characters like Cereal Guy for punchline edits, as in @Marcus_cel's April 2025 prison glow-up post[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Chudjak?
